Redefining norms
Guru, Worada Elstow, Published on 25/02/2022
» Fashion is a form of self-expression, it tells the wearer's story. It can indicate who they are, their tastes, their ideologies and so many more social cues. For those who wish to stand out and challenge fashion and societal norms, Guru has complied a few choices.

Blasts from the past
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 25/06/2021
» The world moves in a circle around the sun and that, perhaps, explains why trends from decades ago are always doing the rounds. It doesn't matter which decade you were born in, each one had its own exciting new technology, trendy fashions, memorable toys, movies and music -- all of which can be looked back on with fondness. Guru has selected a few places to get your nostalgia going.
Quarantine 2.0
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/01/2021
» Let's be honest and admit that it was bound to happen. The second we got wind of a domestic case in Samut Sakhon, it was only a question of when things would be ordered to close. Granted, it may not be a hard lockdown like the first time around. However, as of the writing of this article, we're upwards of 10,000 cases now compared to the now-measly 1,000 or so we had the first time around so it's safe to say that things are a little worse than before. However, vaccines are set to arrive next month so there's a glimmer of hope. All we have to do is once again limit ourselves from going out in public unless absolutely necessary. I know the thought of having to once again lock ourselves at home is a drag, and that's why we've got this handy list for you. Here's how to thrive -- or at the very least, survive -- the second quarantine.
Kids (and adults) say the darnedest things
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/01/2020
» Tomorrow is National Children's Day and, instead of telling you where to take your children/nieces/nephews to climb tanks and watch a fighter jet show, I decided to flip the script. You see, a little one can say something out-of-left-field and humorous. The same can be said for adults who sometimes give damnedest responses, comments or excuses despite their years of wisdom. Here are a few examples of when adults say the darnedest things, Thailand edition.
Thai pride
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/11/2019
» Thailand is well-known around the world for a number of things: beautiful beaches, great food and extremely friendly people, to name a few. It's also home to a variety of homegrown talent be it in the entertainment industry or elsewhere. Sure, you can probably name a bunch off the top of your head that people go gaga for right here in the country, but there's also a number of them who are pretty well-known internationally, some of whom you may not be aware of. Either way, these are people who are making their motherland proud and whose works are worthy to be celebrated. From make-up artists to cake designers, here are Thais who are getting recognition locally and internationally for their work.
The art of poking fun
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 01/06/2018
» Tanawat "Pop" Prakammanu, 26, works as a graphic designer at an advertising agency in Bangkok and runs his Facebook page Prakammanu (fb.com/Prakammanu), where he showcases his drawings in his spare time. He went viral after publishing an action-filled Avengers-inspired comic with a cast full of figures in Thai politics from PM Prayut Chan-o-cha to student activist Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal. Pop poked fun at them with sharp humour (even though he insists he's a casual observer) and witty dialogues. His latest effort has been shared more than 100,000 times. His page isn't the first to poke fun at Thai politics but we think it's definitely worth checking out especially if you want to see Uncle Tu having a fist-fight with Thaksin Shinawatra. We talked to Pop about his serious art of poking fun but at, his request, no serious political comment.
Making "Popp" art
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 06/04/2018
» Artist, illustrator and musician, Peera Suk-a-sa, better known as Clubpopp, has designed various artwork for installations and album covers in his signature retro pop art style. His latest project, "Escape X Clubpopp", a collaboration with Escape Hotels in Hua Hin and Khao Yai, aims to turn the resorts into a hip and vibrant destination inspired by pop culture of the 80s, by installing modern pop art in and around them. The installations will run until Aug 31.
